Gearbox Type: 7-Speed DCT / 6-Speed iMT
The 2026 Carens offers a sophisticated 7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) that provides seamless gear changes without power interruption. For those who prefer more control without a physical clutch pedal, Kia also offers the 6-speed Intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT). The DCT variant features multiple drive modes (Eco, Normal, Sport) that adjust the shift logic and throttle mapping to suit the driver's mood or road conditions.
